I hear that Hollywood on Ratchada is a popular ladyboy spot...and is also in the 2.00 am zone....any ever been there or know how it rates on the LB scale???

Any other places that are or may become LB bars in New Petcburi or Ratchada?

not sure about 'other places becoming ladyboy bars' on ratchada and the other areas in the zones but it sure is a nice thought; i can't imagine KC3 being the only place in town open after midnight, that shithole. maybe some other places will open now in the zone areas? Obs or Cascades move?? never know......crazier things have happened, like this stupid law passing.

Hollywood is a decent place to meet ladyboys; i have been there before and seen many in there. BUT.....there are about 90% regular girls there so finding the ladyboys is pretty hard, usually [look for the tell-tale sign of them playing with their hair]. I went there with a ladyboy named Natcha from cascades just last saturday night but she was only 18 so they didn't let us in. too bad; she had some friends in there waiting for us and i could have given you a better idea. but last time i was there with May about a year ago the place had about 20 ladyboys that her and I could spot.

RCA has a fair number also.....but with the crackdown on uner-20 people entering clubs I bet there are less and less going there now. i know a whole group of ladyboys like Anny and Jinny and jannie and that crowd that used to practically live in that place but they are too old for it now.

Does anybody eventually know what's gonna happen to the club scene? Q-bar, Bed-Supperclub, Narcissus, Silom Soi4, DJ Station, Freeman Disco,...?? What about the hotel bars: Spasso, Conrad's 87,... and of course the infamous bar at the Grace? They are all not in the zone areas. If they have to close at midnight they'll close forever. But then BKK killed literally ALL it's entertainment spots - this is ridiculous! Never heard of anything like this before!
It's like the commies or the Amish took over this country!

good question, Mai-Kee, and i am also curious as to what will happen to Khoa Sahn road, which is where I like to hang out when I go and drink and party. There is NO WAY that these tourists from all over the world will put up with this nonsense when they are able to stay out until 3 or 4 or 5 AM in places like Spain and Holland and France, etc....

The Q-bar......narcissus......not my type of place to hang but VERY popular; I can't imagine what will happen to them after march 1. probably find a way to serve some snacks and call it a 'restaurant' and get around this garbage.

Just back from weekend in BKK.
Casa/Obs/Cascades all planning to open at 5, not 6, and openly talking about closing at 12.
Big banners hanging outside Soi Zero and Soi Cowboy saying "Sukhumvit has Nightlife - Zone It"
It also seems lots of confusion about wtaht teh different definitions are eg as Jon says, if you serve barsnacks (BigDogs during the day?) can you open all the time?
